Attack
The attack phase is the time it takes from zero to the maximum value. How
long this takes is governed by the Attack setting. If the Attack is set to 0, the
maximum value is reached instantly. If this value is raised, it takes time before
the maximum value is reached. Range is from 0.0 milliseconds to 91.1
seconds.
Decay
After the maximum value has been reached, the value starts to drop. How long
this takes is governed by the Decay parameter. The Decay has no effect if the
Sustain parameter is set to maximum.
Sustain
Determines the level for the envelope after the Decay phase. Note that
Sustain represents a level, whereas the other envelope parameters represent
times.
Release
Determines the time it takes for the value to fall back to zero after releasing
the key. Range is from 0.0 milliseconds to 91.1 seconds.
Punch
If Punch is activated, the start of the decay phase is delayed a few
milliseconds, that is, the envelope stays at top level for a moment before
moving on to the decay phase. The result is a punchier attack similar to a
compressor effect. This effect is more pronounced with short attack and
decay times.
Retrigger
If Retrigger is activated, the envelope retriggers each time you play a new
note. However, with certain textures/pad sounds and a limited number of
voices, it is recommended to leave the button deactivated, due to click noises
that might occur.
Assigning Envelope Modulation Destinations
You can assign a modulation destination for an envelope.
PROCEDURE
1. Click in the Mod Dest box for one of the envelopes.
A pop-up menu appears in which all possible modulation destinations are shown. All
Sound parameters as well as most LFO and Envelope parameters are available as
destinations.
2. Select a destination, for example, Cut.
The selected modulation destination is now shown in the list. Beside the destination,
a default value (50) has been set. The value represents the modulation amount.
• You can set positive and negative modulation values by clicking on the value in
the list, typing in a new value, and pressing [Enter].
To enter negative values, type a minus sign followed by the value.
